I am a noob with gentoo and linux. Are you trying to make it harder for me
to install gentoo, and make it take more time?
gentoo was my first real attempt at linux, and I installed it as I read the
handbook. I didnt read and master the handbook before starting the install.
If you believe that someone having trouble with gentoo would ask it on a
list instead of reading the handbook. Then might they just ask the questions
from the test?
